[B]thanks guys..

Stefano - there's a black and white setting in the colour balance menu of my otherwise very basic Canon Powershot A20 camera. You can convert the colours to b&w afterwards but it doesn't look as good.

Thanks Russ!
I have a Toshiba PDR-M65. I'll look for that type of setting.

Funny story: it was originally a Christmas present for my former girlfriend. I realized the relationship wasn't going to last much longer but had bought the camera too long ago to return it. So I kept it for the tax write-off (legitimate business expense) and got her a cheaper Kodak.

PS The Kodak was still over $300, so I'm not that much of a rat-bastard!!
